Anybody come up with anything to cut down on some of the shelf/ fairing vibration. I understand it can't be totally eliminated but?????????? Before I get the Mr. Obvious answers I would like to keep both GPS units up there. Thanks.

By all means check the main fairing bolt. Also a loose front fender can sound like it's coming from the shelf. You'll need washers on each side of the fender to make it snug again. I also had not tightened the RAM base to the shelf (doh!) which caused a banging noise because the GPS was contacting the shelf. HTH

Any updates on the shelf vibration issue? Just wondering if any of the fairing mount bolts were looseor even missing/broken?

Thanks

Everything checked out good. Figured out with both GPS units mounted up there the 7" was causing a little more flex in the shelf I think due to the weight and length of the ram mount arm. Machined a piece of plastic that supports the arm at the front edge of the shelf and all is good. Not a dig on the Bucks shelf (good quality piece) I just have a lot mounted on it.

My main bracket broke like the pics above AND someone removed the lower brace bolts from the side of the engine. I replaced those and came up with a quick solution that someone on the Facebook page suggested with band clamps. Now it doesn’t vibrate at all. I’ll have the tab re-welded when I have the time.
